KU SCHOOL OF MEDICINE - WICHITA
KU School of Medicine-Wichita's mission is to educate tomorrow's physicians and health care leaders through community partnership to improve the health of Kansans. With Kansas in need of more physicians, KU School of Medicine opened the Wichita Campus in 1971 to provide hands-on clinical training to medical students in their third and fourth years. In 2011, KU School of Medicine-Wichita expanded to a full, four-year campus, welcoming its first class of first-year medical students.
